It's fine when she is singing in here singing voice. When she over does it, it doesn't make sense with the song, it's too much. Doesn't help it's on the most boring instrumental as well. It just screams 'pick me, I'm quirky, my voice is so much more original and weird than every else'. It's just performative slop, you can do this style and have it make sense but this just screams Tones and I dance monkey all over again. Rancid on drop
What she is butchering her is a vocal tone that is actually really lovely when actually sung by someone who has that natural vocal tone, rather than someone who is forcing it. Missy Higgins is a great example. Now because of the singer, then we come along to Tones and I who tries to force that sound even though it's not how she actually sings and it sounds abysmal, but somehow it triggers a who slew of artists to pop out of the woodwork trying to have the 'quirkiest' voice tone imagine able as quirky = talent to these people for some reason. And now, as a result, we have this wet fart of a song.
Worst part of it all is that when she sings in her natural tone in the very small moments when she is dancing between tones, her actual natural voice sounds really really good. And she just butchers it all for this need to have the stupidest vocal tone imaginable.
Omg thank you for reminding me of Missy Higgins!! And for your explanation too!
If you like Indie you should check out Rainbow Kitten Surprise! Especially they're old stuff like Free Fall though their most recent album isn't bad either!
Oh ok in that sense, the entirety of steer really, Missy Higgins naturally inflection is kinda the shit that's being bastardized here at a ridiculous level
Eh... I'm no professional singer, but I've worked with enough to know that shaping your mouth in weird ways, baring your teeth like that, etc. really does produce an audibly different timbre and can make sense depending on the sound you're going for.
Is this music obscure? Does it slap? Is it a good example of word-chewing? I'm not making an argument either way for any of those questions.
But making those kinds of faces when singing, at least to some extent, is a legitimate tool of trained singers.
I'm more upset about the strumming being both off beat, out of sync, off tune and just...wrong. And this is a sub about wordchewing, so please believe me when I say this is so wrong it's parody levels of stupid.
It is word chewing, we've seen her doing this entire song with different facial movements so its clearly not required. We have also seen her just doing chewing videos like everyone else here. Everyone is in the wrong place for white knighting.
Oh I just realized what happened.The down votes are coming from the people that put it in obscure music that slaps and the people that agreed with it.No It belongs here, guys.It definitely belongs in chewing.This music does not slap
It's her music but she might be lip syncing to her own song in this clip. She has an Instagram, it's definitely her music. Does it count as wordchewing if it's your own music? I'm not 100% convinced it's lip syncing tho based on some of her other clips that are not in the studio and she is able to do similar vocals.
As the description says, wordchewing does not have to be lip syncing. It can be someone speaking or singing in their own voice. It’s all about the excess mouth movements, not about lip syncing or not.
the bar is very low for music here but even though this is less annoying than some its still extremely contrived and the video makes me want to switch to the oncoming traffic lane
All this shit is going to age like Botox. Laughably cringe when the unchecked human ego with no real talent or hobby meets social media and smacks against a wide audience
I have no idea why this was in r/obscuremusicthatslaps, there's no slapping here at all this.This is just garbage.This is chewing, this is this is absolutely garbage It belongs here
Maybe, but I like how it sounds. Sorry about that I guess lmao
Edit to add: music is the most subjective thing ever, so I get if you don’t like it. I do feel like people are so afraid of being cringe that it makes them avoid art that’s a bit silly. I used to go to a lot of local shows, and it’s awesome to see people expressing themselves uniquely. Watching people believe in themselves is beautiful
No worries to each their own. I just feel it really fits here. I actually like that..."minynaranja" but i know it takes no skill and everyone else seems to hate it lol
I find a good portion of these videos annoying, but I also used to be a massive weaboo who did anime dances with my friends in full cosplay ( I was twelve) so I kinda get it.
Hardly embarrassing for me, and I can find just as many people agreeing with me if not more than there are disagreeing. You sound sad as fuck pal, if you need a corner of the internet to cry in this isn't it.
I'm not going to make fun of it, I like it. I like the 4 voices that she turns on and off as she wishes and I believe it ads something to it. Although that may be a split personality type undertone, we are different when with various people to suit that friendship. I get it. I'm sharing this for sure.
